Moreirense and Benfica released their starting lineups for the match between both teams. Banjaqui and Schjelderup were the main newcomers in Benfica's team, entering directly into the starting eleven.
The change on the right wing was expected, with Norwegian player Schjelderup replacing Sudakov in the right winger position. This alteration represents one of the main changes in the reds' offensive sector.
Moreirense also made two changes compared to their last game, which ended in a defeat at the Estádio do Dragão, home of FC Porto. These changes likely aim to address the gaps that resulted from that defeat.
The match is counting towards the competition in question, with both teams looking to earn important points in this Portuguese league clash.
